YAIIVBELFERNANDEZ, OF MEXICO, MEXICO, ASSIGNOR T JUAN v. TORRES, OF SAN LUIS POTOSI, MEXICO, AND ANTONIO HEEEEJ N LOPEZ, OE MEXICO, MEXICO.

Be it known that I, ABEL FERNANDEZ, a

citizen of Mexico, residing at Mexico city,

Estados Unidos Mexicanos, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cartridge-Receiving Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

, aThepresent invention comprehends genxerally improvements in that class of inventions known'as firearms and more partlcularly relates to a cartridge receiving receptacle.

It is the principal aim and object of this invention to provide a device of the above mentioned character designed to be removablyf connected to a rifle of the Mauser type I or,,a rifle wherein the cartridges are ejected from the side thereof so that the shells will to provide a device of the above mentioned character designed in a -bag-like form and provided with a reinforcing frame which acts to hold the bag-like body in an extended position so that theshells will be readily received therein.

Y fso I More particularly this invention contemplates theprovision of a device of the above .mentioned character wherein the reinforcing frame is of improved construction being formed with means for establishing an effective connection between the frame proper and the body of the bag or sack while acting in conjunction with such means are im- -proved retaining and binding strips, the

latter, covering the adjacent edges of the body .of the sack for protecting the same and increasing the longevity of the device in entirety.

It is a more specific object of this invention ito provide aldevice of the'above mentioned character wherein cooperative fasten- -i1ig; means are provided on the sack and on the rifle for releasably connectlng the sack in" position; and to also provide means whereby the shells may be quickly removed Y from the body of the sack when desired.

- Among the other aims and objects of this invention may be. recited the provision of a device of the above mentioned character wherein the parts; are comparatively few, jtheconstruction simple, the cost of produc- V a tion low and the .efficiency high.

CARTRIDGE-RECEIVING RECEPTACLE.

Patented May 20, 1919.

I Application filed November 1, 1918. Serial No. 260,736.

The improvements in the details and arrangement of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings, in connection with the specific description hereinafter contained, and wherein the preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose of imparting a full understanding of the invention.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a side elevation of the invention attached,

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same,

Fig; 3 is an elevational detail showing the connection between the rifle and the device, 1 Fig. 4 is a perspective detail looking toward the inside of the device when detached,

Fig. 5 is a perspective detail of the frame forming a part of the device,

lig. 6 is a bottom plan detail of the sack, an

Fig. 7 is a cross sectional detail of the -brackets 2 are carried by the rifle and are positioned on opposite sides of the opening in the casing 3 being detachably engaged by hooks 4 and 5 which in turn are carried by the cartridge receiving receptacle generally designated by the numeral 6.

In reducing the present invention to practice the receptacle or container may be said to consist of a flexible body in the form of a bag or sack 7 the top of which is open while one side 8 is higher than the other side 9 this being preferably efi'ected by cutting away the latter side.

In order to maintain the sack in an extended and substantially rectangular form there is provided a reinforcing frame generally designated by the numeral 10 and formed preferably from a single blank of metal. This frame is substantially right angular in cross section and consists of a top 11 the inner edge of which is formed with a recess 12 to permit of access to parts of the rifle without necessitating the removal of the receptacle and also aside Iii having an chamber or casing 3 from which the cars tridge shells are ejected. JThe top and side of the frame are formed with flanges '15jto which are connected the corners or free edges 16 of the ends of the'sack whilethe upper edge ofthe short side wall Qofthe sack issecuredto the outer surface and lower edge of the side 13zand the upper edge of the high outer wall 8 is secured to the upper surfaceof the top and near the outer edge thereof. Binding strips 17 and 18, of

metal, are disposed respectively above'the upper edges of the walls 8 and 9. and are secured respectively-to the top and side of the frame by'means of suitable fasteners such as rivets "1 9'thus: insuring of efi'e ctive clampingrof the sack to'the frame. Angular bindingstrips 20 arenow employed and are disposed over the corner edges '16 of the end walls of the sackand against the'flanges 15 being retained in such position'bymeans of fasteners 21 which act to clamp thefsack and frame together. These binding strips 17, 18 and 20 serve to protect the edges of the sack and increase the, longevity thereof in addition to enhancing the-appearance of the device, as'is apparent. V

In connecting the hooks 4 and 5 to the frame it is to be noted that the shank 22 of the hook 5 is disposed longitudinally with respect to the bill and is secured tothej'under surface of the top of the frame by means of suitable fasteners 23 while the shank of the -hook 4 is disposed at substantially right angles to the bill of the hook and is fastened by suitable rivets 24 to the outer surface of the side of the frame near one end'thereof, as indicated in Fig. 4. 'In attaching the receptacle in position it is only necessary to hold the same in a substantially horizontal position;and engage the hooks 4i and 5 in the ears or brackets 2 and then swing the receptacle outwardly and downwardly until the inner edge of the openingl l abuts, the

bracket 25 of the rifle and 'to which one of V the working parts is pivoted, thisbracket 25 cooperating with the hooks and ears for in;- suring of the'm'aint'enance of the receptacle in "a substantially vertical position and to one side of therifle so that the shells when ejected will pass through the openingli and 'be'deposited in the receptacle, as 1s apparent.

As intimated, the receptacleh'asbeen provided with'means whereby the shells may be easily and quickly removed therefrom subsequent to the detaching of the receptacle from its position on the rifle In reducing this feature of the invention to practice, the

bottom of; the sack is 'formedwith alongitudinal split 26 whilethe portions to the sides of the split are rolled:-upon themselves to form easements 27in which aremou'nted rods '28 and these rods are pivoted together "readily pass 'therethrough when desired] 9 p w ub ant l y. .u-s1 pe n o s s .tion is slidably engaged over th'e casement scription that a further detailed description:

. ried by the frame.

tions are capable of being spread relative to 7 each other for widening'the splltsothat the V at' 29 nearone end while the opposite er oblong opening 14 therein which faces thev shells contained 'withinthe receptaclemiiy 27 which contains'the rods 28 and when, slid- 'g' toward the outer'or free portioniof'the'rod serves to releasably; hold the rods and casement' together and thereby close the'split and the bottom of the sack.

It is believed: in view of the foregoingde of the operation of the invention is entirely unnecessary. Likewise it is believedthat the advantages of the invention will be lf ldily apparent. V Still further embodiments of the invention than those herein especially; defined; may be resorted to as conditions or preferenjce' may appended claim in '1. A device of the character described dictate, asmay be in k ee ing w ith the hereto eluding a flexible bag-like body havingfone side wall cut-away at the top, "a metallic"reinforcing frame'right angular in 'cro'sssec- 7 tion secured toj'the top and thecut-awayfside" 'wall and providedwith'a 'cartridge'shell receiving opening in its side,-.and-attaching means carried by the tram .7
